A happy day for mysoginists in Nicaragua?

A happy day for people who hate the independent, autonomous and fighting-to-be-free women of Nicaragua. The alleged sexual predator, happy-to-ban-abortion, ex-Marxist and born-again-Catholic anthrocropolite called, Daniel Ortega, was elected president yesterday :

Former Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega appeared headed for victory Monday in his longtime quest to regain power, 16 years after a U.S.-backed rebellion helped drive the former Marxist revolutionary from office.

Early results from Sunday's presidential election gave the Sandinista leader a strong lead over his four rivals. His victory, if confirmed by final results, would expand the club of leftist Latin rulers led by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who has tried to help his ally by shipping cheap oil to the energy-starved nation.

Ortega, who led Nicaragua from 1985-1990, has repeatedly said he is not the Marxist revolutionary who fought U.S.-backed Contra rebels, a war that left 30,000 dead and the economy in shambles.

I don't know what is more reprehensible : That he raped his stepdaughter when she was a teen and sexually abused her for 20 years or that he now repudiates Marxism as a born-again Catholic.

Frankly, I find either claim revolting.

Words to live by

Recent revelations that all people are more than 99.9 percent genetically identical has proved that race has almost no biological validity. Yet geneticists' claims that race is a phony construct have not rung true to many nonscientists -- and understandably so, said Vivian Ota Wang of the National Human Genome Research Institute in Bethesda.

"You may tell people that race isn't real and doesn't matter, but they can't catch a cab," Ota Wang said. "So unless we take that into account it makes us sound crazy."
